About the Chorus

Under the leadership of Artistic Director Allan Friedman, WVC has evolved into the premier Triangle chorus for sopranos and altos. While performing a wide and diverse repertoire, we remain steadfast in support of our threefold mission: to provide a welcoming place in the Triangle for women to share the joy of singing together, to promote choral works written for women, and to strive to achieve the highest standards of musical excellence.

Read on for more in-depth information about the chorus that’s been called “versatile and innovative” and “a special treasure, worthy of the attention of serious music lovers throughout the Triangle and beyond.”
